Philosophy

We play out from the back and pass through the thirds. Players are to take a limited amount of touches in our own half keeping the ball moving forward. Take little touches and keep control of the ball. Players must support each other by finding space for the ball to move. Creativity is important; players must express themselves in the final third. In the corners of the final third players must shoot or cross the ball early.​
